Hi all,
Wondered if anyone has done this & could advise me? Just found out I'm expecting #2. It's early days as am only 6 weeks & was a bit of a shock as my son is only 5 months old .
My last birth was horrendous - dry, back to back labour ending in keillands forceps & episiotomy. I had continence issues for the first few weeks which thankfully have resolved but ended up with PTSD/PND & am still having treatment.
I know that my first labour was unusually awful but I'm terrified of going through similar this time round. Obviously a section isn't a walk in the park but I feel that I could cope with the physical recovery better than another traumatic labour/delivery & it would take a lot of the anxiety out of the equation for me.
So do I have good grounds for asking for an elcs? How do I go about it? What do I do if they refuse? Am seeing my GP tomorrow so I'm hoping she'll support me on this but would love to hear others experiences :)
